Back To Texas To See Our Son from New York and Granddaughter from Florida!!

On August 14th we went back to Texas to see some children and grandchildren.

Also John had an appointment with a Pulmonary doctor in Austin.

We first went to Allen, Texas to visit and spend the night with our oldest daughter and her family. "GOOD TIME". Then on
to Jonestown to see and visit with a son from New York and granddaughter from Florida.

Scott lives in Ronkonkoma, New York.

Ashley lives around Orlando, Florida.

We had a good visit with them and it was
great to see both of them as we had not seen them since John's 70th birthday. John was 75 on the 24th of August.


One day John, Scott, Ashley and myself went into Austin to see the capital.
A few pictures taken inside.
And one day went to Johnson City, Texas to a Exotic Resort Zoo.

Lots of fun and good times...............



Very pretty inside...left picture is looking up to the dome.

















This is a beautiful staircase.

On Wed. August 18th John, Scott, Ashley and myself went to Johnson City, Texas to a Exotic
Resort Zoo. Our daughter and family that live at Jonestown didn't get to go as they all had to
work. This zoo is four miles north of Johnson City on U.S. 281.
137 wooded acres of the Texas Hill Country.

They have North American bison, greater kudu from Africa, Nilgai from India.
Eland, Scimitar (white oryx) and much more......too numerous to mention.

The ostrich, of Africa and SW Asia,
name was Elvis.
